Of those the Pioneer defiantly. They have a rating of 25watts RMS and a sensitivity of 91 so thats what your looking for if your not going to amp them. Audiobahns and Volfenhags build quality is really sub par, they're all for show as my buddy says. They will defiantly sound better than stock, if you have never really heard a good system setup properly you will be satisfied.

You will be fine, but you will need a baffle (I suggest one made of MDF) to compensate for the larger opening. You can make one yourself by tracing the stock plastic baffle. When you are done, make sure the baffle is sealed to the door (get some sound deadener, and cover the gaps). With 6.5's, you'll have more midbass and with 5.25's you'll have more midrange. IMO, it would be easier to go with the 6.5's if you still haven't bought them yet.

I've installed Polk 5.25" shallow mounts in the doors of my last gf's 6th gen sedan. They fit the stock 6.5" mounts fine. All I had to do was cut the back of the basket off with a hacksaw, then ground it clean on my table grinder .... a dremmel would've been easier, but still, 5 minutes?!?

Nothing wrong with 5.25's at all so long as theyre QUALITY speakers.
I ran 5.25's all last season in MECA and picked up my 2nd straight state championship and my 2nd straight 2nd place finish at world finals.
Gary Biggs won humpteen dozen world championships with 5.25's.
True the 6.5's will have more midbass but the 5.25's will generally have better midrange, be easier to dial in the imaging and still have very decent midbass output. Plus you can make up for most of the difference with a little fancy tuning with the sub.

The other one should be the low pass filter. No clue what the SPF and HPF are...
On my HU it has a built-in crossover for the fronts, rears, and subs. Very handy.

HPF and LPF are low pass filter and high pass filter, respectively. LPF switches the crossover to filter out sounds above a set frequency, which is used for a sub. HPF filters out sounds below a set frequency, which is used for speakers if you don't want any bass on your speakers. I have my speakers crossed at 80hz but Macleod may have a better suggestion for you. I just crossed my subs and speakers at that same frequency assuming thats the best thing to do.
EDIT: And the off position doesn't filter any frequencies out.

Bah!
I can't seem to win!
I did that too, and cut alot more then that to get my stupid Lightning Audio 6 1/2's in there.
I guess when I put these in ill have to see how much those mounts are or how much the adapters are. Nothing is easy to do anymore!!!!
Trust me, I know the PITA that it is to get 6.5"'s in there. My Accord had 6.5" MB Quartz components. Basically, I gutted the OEM basket down to just the front ring and black silicone caulked the woofers to them. They fit back in perfectly, but the 6.5's put out too much bass to not remove the plastic liner ..... I never got around to replacing them with dynamat, so I ran them with the bass turned way down from the amp.
